Best hidden gems in Lenexa

Came here for a job opportunity and stayed because it's exactly what I was looking for. The public transit is honestly surprisingly good and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

I've lived in Midtown for about 3 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I genuinely enjoy living here. When I first moved here from Chicago, I was surprised by housing market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Lots of new development happening
- Good airport with direct flights
- The safety scene is tough

The downsides:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Limited entertainment options

Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for retirees. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
